Players Cut by WNBA Teams

[Carnac]

I'll be watching the game tomorrow to see how Shoni does.

She failed to impress in game #1. Zero points in 8 minutes, 1 reb, 1 to, zero ast. . We'll see how she does up to the all-star break. We don't know how long Laimbeer is giving her to blend in and become productive. Perhaps the entire season, maybe not.

A couple players have to be cut when McBride and Plum return. Louis would be one easy cut. Who would be the other one?

I saw 2 of them last night. Myisha looked like a rookie, but a rookie with staying power. She seemed confident and aggressive. When Shoni came in, I didn’t recognize her. She was taller than I expected. She also didn’t look any trimmer than I recalled, though it’s hard to compare in-person to TV. She took 3 shots, all from the arc, and missed them. She played 4 minutes overall. Lindsay Allen played 34 or so. I don’t expect Shoni to be on the roster once Mo, KMac, and Plum are playing.

I agree w you on Shoni not sticking when those 3 return. Lambeer said she was in great shape so that surprises me you didn’t think she looked trimmer.

She looked taller. Did she look trimmer? Maybe. As noted, it’s hard to compare in-person with on TV. Did she look trim? I didn’t think so.

If Shoni has slimmed down, I hope she can stick with some team. Though it’s a great league, the 10th to 12th players on many teams are rather marginal. Shoni is exciting and has her own fan base. Can she play smart, improve her shot selection, and help her team win at this level? I hope so, but she needs to change. We’ll see.

I think Allen will be a good backup PG to MoJeff. That is if MoJeff can stay healthy enough to put her there. I remember in college many people thought that Allen was the second best facilitator behind MoJeff.

Schimmel and Louis were cut to make room for the return of McBride and Plum.

Aces Welcome McBride, Plum To Las Vegas, Waive Schimmel, Louis – Las Vegas Aces

Not really surprising. Maybe Shoni will land elsewhere.
